"The Nine Worthies and the Nine Worthy Women 3" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giacomo Jaquerio (c. 1375–1453). Jaquerio, known for his significant contribution to the International Gothic style in Piedmont, was active during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The fresco is part of a larger series that depicts a popular medieval theme: the Nine Worthies and the Nine Worthy Women. These figures were considered paragons of chivalry and virtue, and their stories were meant to inspire and instruct both the nobility and the public.

The Nine Worthies were a group of nine historical, scriptural, and legendary figures who were revered in the Middle Ages for their exemplary conduct. They included three pagans (Hector, Alexander the Great, and Julius Caesar), three Jews (Joshua, David, and Judas Maccabeus), and three Christians (King Arthur, Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillon). Similarly, the Nine Worthy Women were female counterparts, often including heroines from history and literature such as Esther, Judith, and Joan of Arc.

Jaquerio's fresco likely dates from the early 15th century and would have been commissioned to decorate a public or private space, serving both an educational and decorative purpose. The work is characterized by the intricate detail and rich coloration typical of the International Gothic style, with particular attention paid to the figures' attire and the composition's overall elegance.

While the exact location and current condition of "The Nine Worthies and the Nine Worthy Women 3" by Giacomo Jaquerio are not specified, such works are important for understanding the cultural and artistic milieu of the time. They reflect the societal values and the fusion of chivalric and religious ideals that were prevalent in the courts and upper echelons of European society during the late medieval period.

The fresco would be of particular interest to art historians studying the International Gothic style, the iconography of medieval heroism, and the role of gender in chivalric ideals. As with many works of this period, the exact details of the fresco's commission, its original context, and its provenance may be partially lost to history, but the surviving elements continue to offer insights into the period's artistic and cultural expressions.
